I did this for a swap with Lilyvanilli, she's on a tote bag. The image is artwork by Angelique Houtkamp (check her out http://www.salonserpent.com/Home.html ).

I like how the shading on her dress came out.Gosh, it's been an age since I last posted on the Craftster needlework boards- it's good to be back!

All of the light blue looks really good! I also wanted to add this pic so all of you could see the amazing detail in her hair. I don't know how sewphie survived all this tiny satin stitching - I would have gone crazy! Anyway, check it out, it's gorgeous:

Human rights are for EVERYONE. Did you know that Aung San Suu Kyi had been released from house arrest in Burma? Many other prisoners of conscience are still being detained. Please research this topic... Amnesty International needs your help.
